Fuck Cars
This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
- to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
- to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

Do people decide to be this awful out of the blue? Or is some genetic defect from being inbred?
Take a bunch of white dudes with no personality or interests of their own and expose them to manipulative content and ideas presented in a "cool" way and BAM this is what you get.
I target liberals every day yet an electric car triggers me to the point of needing to kill off the off the only planet we have by burning more diesel at its highest cost in decades.
You've never been to Alberta
Albertan here. Had a little Toyota truck in front of me the other day. I always liked those because my uncle had one. When the light turned green the modified exhaust spewed black smoke from a low exhaust point, nearly blinding me and smelling like hell. I wanna stick a potato in that exhaust pipe so bad.
Fuck those guys, seriously.
On more than one occasion, when it's been a nice day out we've went to go for a walk, some asshole spews black toxic fumes in our faces and drives away laughing.
I'm not a psychologist but it sounds a bit like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_formation - "You want me not to pollute so I pollute even more"
Basically their reasoning skills peaked at age 4
Out of the blue. Was driving through Norfolk a few years ago and this ford pickup decided to roll coal several times in the I-64 tunnels between Newport News and Norfolk. Dude blacked out the entire tunnel multiple times and they were clearly trying to cause a major accident. I follwed the sonofaremoved to get his plates and tried to call the highway police number but the lady on the other end refused to listen (kept pretending i was talking about normal exhaust shit) and started threatening me for reporting it.
The kops and the klan go hand in hand
They fucking do this to me on my bike too. I don't even ride on the roads! It's only when I'm crossing the streets that I see cars
All the fucking time but fortunately I have my ulock in a sleeve within reach and can take out their rear views as needed or window for more deserving assholes
It’s evidently the mating call of the redneck, signaling to potential mates that they may have a micro-penis, but they have enough money to pay for plastic surgery, the holy grail of rednecks.
Both.
Pedophiles are genuinely the shittiest people you will ever interact with and they deserve nothing but to be [redacted oh my god so redacted]
